Huh? You can accidentally mislead somebody. I never claimed it was
intentional!
That said, after this vote, it now clearly _is_ intentional, because I've
made you and the other FESCo members aware of the issue and you (and
everyone else on FESCo except me who obviously dissented, jwb who abstained
and dgilmore who was absent) decided to ignore it (and even abstention
isn't really addressing the issue).
I abstained from voting on your specific proposal. I don't think that specific
proposal is actually going to help anything you appear to be really concerned
about.
As I said in the meeting, the underlying motivation of your proposal appeared
to me to be seated in more of a "promote KDE" manner than an actual "call
the
Gnome spin Gnome." In that sense, changing the name of a spin will do nothing
to further promote KDE.
If I am wrong in the underlying intention of your proposal, then I'll happily
(if somewhat pointlessly now) vote after the fact. However, if I am truly
wrong, then why does the rest of this thread seem to focus so much on KDE,
it's users, and how they are being slighted?
This is why I abstained on the specific proposal.
